"Put locks on your bathroom doors! You should also have more easily assessable wash stations specifically near the main entrance. Room didn’t seem extremely clean upon check-in. Stuff was on the floor - crumbs and what not. Great staff and great location though."

Exclusive 5K sq ft Home w/Backyard Oasis & Salt Water Heated Pool, Steps 2 Beach

10/10 Excellent
"All of our members thought that the house was beautiful. The owner and agent were very responsive whenever I had a question. The house was well-stocked but I have two suggestions:The Teflon-lined cookware is about ready for replacement because the surfaces are worn and not be safe for cooking/eating.We are a group of 15 women and to have one washcloth each was not adequate in our estimation. Our weekend was rained-out unfortunately, but had it been sunny we would have been out of luck for towels for the pool, or the beach.We didn't use the pool or grill so I can't report on those but they were there and would've been great to use.Two of our members have handicaps and the use of the chairlift was great. Also, there was an additional refrigerator in the garage. Overall, we give the property five stars because the owner was responsive, the property was stunning, and you could tell that the owner was thoughtful in providing the things most people would need. Thank you for making our stay most enjoyable."
